By all means let's keep paying people to arrest this guy so we can house this guy, feed this guy, get this guy a lawyer, pay for his prosecution, pay the judges,etc. Addressing addiction would mean weakness.

mehmy guess is that it is the doing it in public part which is getting him arrested ...go home, huff, not get arrested, repeat until dead

in the end, we should only arrest people in public ...you are home and shouting duster straight into your eyes? no problembut we should also just let them die

/yes, we should take 90% of the DEA/drug enforcement dollars and put it into treatment and education

Just leave him alone. He's not hurting anybody, and will be dead soon enough.

haven't heard anything about Patrick Tribble ( I think that is right ) in a while, so I'm hoping he's still on the wagon.

in case you don't know.. the last I heard about the guy, he had sobered up, was in a halfway home, and found out that he was an internet meme and apparently that shamed him enough to try to stay out of the spotlight, at least for stupid shiat.

he made the news again shortly afterwards for trying to sue folks for using his image to make T-shirts, but it was determined that he didn't have a case because Mug shots are a matter of public record.

I'm thinking that he might be able to copyright his likeness, but the mugshot thing could still be an issue for him.

but, as far as I know.. after a year or so, he's still clean.

now, if only we could hunt down the true Identity of Looty. the New Orleans Heineken aficionado.

Patrick Tribbet of West Virginia.had to make sure.. hey! i was close!

Had been doing well, so I heard, but got picked up this past February. Link

Actually i found one from the 13th of October of this year; Source 1and Source 2

Keep in mind i have both adblock and noscript on, so go at your own discretion, although jailbase.com(first source) sounds more legit than arre.st (second source)

How come huffing paint equals a trip to jail instead of to the loony bin? Think about it: If a reasonable, non-insane person decided, for whatever reason, to huff some paint, they would not get caught. They would do that shiat in the woods, or in the comfort of their own condo, etc., because...well, because of having seen Mr. Timbits get paraded all over the internet, for one thing. Someone who gets caught doing this is obviously on par with the guy who jerks himself off at the bus stop. Not a rational criminal -- simply a nut job. Nut jobs should go to the nut farm, not get 20 lashes and go free.

FriarReb98:Was probably covered in the first thread, but I missed it: Is that sideways thing with the mouth a symptom of huffing abuse or something? Tribbet has it too....

It's probably nerve damage at this point. Or some kind of stroke.

Whoever said "treating his addiction" was an alternative: Hate to break it to you, but the only person who can do that is the addict. Unless or until this idiot wants to stop huffing paint (assuming he has any working synapses left by that time), locking him up is the only other alternative. You can't "treat" addiction like it was a broken arm or something.
